Today, I’m sharing a new journaling technique that I’m trying in my notebook: a journal tip-in. It’s a fun way to add function AND beauty to your notebook and I wish I tried it sooner.
I talk about what tip-ins are, how they can serve our notebooks and how we can create one. Then, I’ll get personal and talk about how I’m currently experimenting with tip-ins in my own stack of notebooks and ask for special requests, too.
Here are the resources mentioned in the episode:

Here are the tip-ins I am currently experimenting with.
I’m not yet convinced these are more functional than my sticky notes, but they sure are pretty and fun to look at when they fold out!
Now, it’s your turn!
What are your favorite tip-ins and what tip-in requests do you have? I’m ready to create!

I hate mechanical pencils!!!!! I break the tips EVERY SINGLE time!
In terms of what kind of journaler am I? The scaredy-cat journaler!!! LOL
I like the idea of tip-ins.

Isn’t it funny how we are so particular about our writing utensils?! No scaredy-cats here…one line a day is all you need!

I do keep a medical journal and I tuck in blood work print outs and color code mileage, etc. I think it might be helpful to have a mileage tip in on the cover instead of having them throughout the whole notebook where I have to search at the end of the year. I could also tip in the blood work or other physician notes.

This is a GREAT idea! Take a peek at Kaylyn Brooke’s site…she has some medical pages to print and tip-in!
